Reebok CEO Todd Krinsky said he is looking forward to having the game's legends back in the picture -- but this time in a business capacity -- something that has not been done before. "Being at the company for such a long time, one of the things I’m most proud about, is a lot of brands have relationships with their athletes and endorsers. Usually they’re giving them product in perpetuity and having them come to events and appearances,” Krinsky said. “With this, we’re actually bringing two of our legacy athletes together and having them be in real management positions within our company.
